Respite Programs

Respite services alleviate the stress of caregiving and extends the family's ability to provide care by providing services to the brain-impaired adult, which, in turn, provides relief from caregiving tasks for the caregiver.

Types of Respite Services available at Mountain Caregiver Resource Center:

Adult Day Health Care: Provides therapeutic, social and health services in an organized group setting.
In-Home: Provides companionship/supervision, homemaking, personal care or other in-home services.
24-hour care (out-of-home): Provides 24-hour care in an inpatient facility, foster or group care, or a community facility.
24-hour (in-home): Provides 24-hour live-in care or supervision in the home.
Retreat (caregiver focused): Provides out-of-home caregiver focused therapeutic and recreational activities in a retreat setting.

Community Respite Programs

Mountain Caregiver Resource Center has five programs offering social day care for adults with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders serving families in Chester, Corning, Mount Shasta, Red Bluff, and Yreka.

Participants have the opportunity to socialize, exercise, create projects, and enjoy music in a warm caring atmosphere.

For the Caregiver

Community Respite Programs offer caregivers the opportunity to have time away from caregiving responsibilities. Program staff offer support groups, counseling and resource information to assist caregivers in caring for their family member.

The Staff

Our caring team is guided by a Program Coordinator who is assisted by trained volunteers. There is a ratio of 1 team member for every 3 participants.
